it's called marketing. I also call it "stirring the shite", we need to increase viewers and ad rates.

Owners finally wising up about dishing out a contract that will have no value in the later stages of a guys career (Pujols, Kemp, Mauer are just a few examples)
yea, these agents are just firing a volley. the LAST thing a free agent player in his midish 30
s wants is an extended work stoppage. or at least the ones with half a brain.
the owners aren't going to fall for this elementary opening gambit.

If i'm the players, the #1 thing i would of went for, is earlier Free Agency.
Many of these guys are giving teams their biggest years on the cheap. And when they finally can become a UFA(26-27-28), they are on their last contracts, and teams aren't willing to pay you for your first 10 years, when all they get is the last 5 years of ur aging career. Those days are over.
Teams value picks 10x more than they did in the past. Many do not want to shed any picks to sign some one.
